Give in Kind is an album by the American musician Guy Davis, released in 2002.[1][2] It was his fifth album for Red House Records.[3] Davis supported it with a North American tour.[4] The album was nominated for a W. C. Handy Award for best "Acoustic Blues Album".[5]
The album was produced by John Platania.[3] Davis did not spend a lot of time on song selection, choosing what he liked, what others liked, and what was already worked out.[6] He played banjo, six- and twelve-string guitars, and washboard; he played a didgeridoo on "Layla, Layla".[6][7] Ken Whiteley contributed on mandolin.[8] "Loneliest Road That I Know" is a version of Mississippi Fred McDowell's song "Highway 61".[9] "What You Doin'" is a cover of the Sleepy John Estes song.[10] "Good Liquor" is a cover the Big Bill Broonzy song.[11] "Joppatowne" is about a prisoner returning to his hometown for a funeral.[12] "I Will Be Your Friend" is a tribute to the Scottish musician Davy Steele, who died in 2001.[13]
